These must be one of the most charismatic birds to watch as they hunt over the grasslands. They spend the winter with us in the Cotswold Hills and depart in the coming weeks. There is not much time left. I really miss them when they are gone as it is such an adrenalin filled experience. I feel compelled to go and catch up with them whenever the light is good in the late afternoon and evenings. Them seem gone for a long time once they leave.

| Keeping a watch out |
In the last few weeks after the cold snow they seem to have taken to using the thorn bushes. I can't remember them doing this so often in previous years. To me they always seemed previously to roost in the grass.

What a bird they are!
